Wilson Sasha - Ayre V5xe MP users only
Did you not care for the MXR Sasha combo? I have the Sasha, MXR and Nagra PL-L. I also have experience with the V 5xe MP and Wilson Watt Puppy 8. 
Tube preamp for SS amp
I would check out the Nagra PL-L. 
Ayre MXRs/Thiel 3.7s

Rlw3,My advice is engage a Wilson dealer to set up. It is well worth it. 
Retailer in Austin, TX
I will second Jfrech. Call Casey and Ne Plus Ultra. 
Wilson Sophias and Jolida Integrated
I WOULD ALSO TRY THE ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI4 INTEGRATED. I HAVE NOT HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMBO BUT I HAVE HAD OF EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER WILSON W/P7 AND ELECTOCOMPANIET AND IT WAS A GREAT COMBO.
